Beethoven ‘Eroica’ from memory at the BBC Proms

Nicholas Collon conducts the Aurora Orchestra at the BBC Proms for the eighth consecutive year on 22 July, in a trademark ‘from memory’ performance. This year, they take on Beethoven’s Symphony No.3 ‘Eroica’, performed completely memorised with no score. Also on their programme is Strauss’s all-strings Metamorphosen.

Nicholas will introduce the groundbreaking ‘Eroica’ with BBC Radio 3 presenter Tom Service, enhanced with live excerpts performed by the orchestra. The concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 from 7.30pm and will be broadcast at a later date on BBC Four.
